The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

From the outer east of Linjiang, the Yangtze River and the mountains and hills cooperate with each other to form many places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.Especially in Wuxian area.The high mountains in the Shu region suddenly turned sharply down and quickly transitioned to the plains, and the mountains also plummeted. The majestic high mountains were suddenly broken, and even the roads were almost cut off in some places.The water potential follows the mountain, and when the mountain changes suddenly, the water naturally surges.In the Yangtze River, the current is fast and the strange rocks are jagged.There are two dangerous places here. One is Kuiguan, which is located between two mountains, cutting off the dry road to Shu;

Further forward, there are three fortresses of Baidi, Zigui and Yiling.Everywhere can be garrisoned to defend against attacks.Especially the last Yiling, which is the boundary between the plateau and the plain.The ancients said: When the water reaches this point, it becomes Yiling, and when the mountain reaches this point, it becomes mausoleum, so this place is called Yiling.Although the terrain of Yiling is not as steep as that of Wu County, it is the first line of defense when entering Yizhou.

When Guan Yu received a letter from Zhuge Liang about guarding against Long Fei's attack, he looked at it and threw it aside.Guan Ping hurriedly picked it up: "Father, report back from the scouting horse. Long Fei is preparing a military horse and will come to kill him soon. Why doesn't father read the letter from the military adviser?"

Guan Yu took a look at Guan Ping: "Fighting for my father has always been based on the situation of the battle, and he has never been manipulated by anyone. Although Zhuge Liang is wise, he is not on the front line. It is difficult to understand Long Fei's tricks. After reading his orders, he is tied up!"

Guan Ping nodded again and again: "Does father have a countermeasure?"

Guan Yu smiled: "Yiling and Kuiguan are both dangerous places. Long Fei's wish to advance by water is just a dream. As long as we send a large army to stop them, if we can't reach Kuiguan, Long Fei's [-] soldiers will be depleted!"

"That kid will do it now!" Guan Ping looked excited.Guan Yu nodded with a smile.

Long Fei's army set out from Xiangyang, divided into three steps: front, middle and back.The vanguard general Long Fei kissed Hua Xiong, and the lieutenant was Zhang He.These two are battle-hardened, Hua Xiong is brave and Zhang He is stable, and the two complement each other just enough to balance.The army first went to Nanjun, joined the water army, and then went west by land and water.After passing the police station, the road became difficult to walk. It was uneven and ups and downs, and even land and water became difficult to walk. The river was turbulent, and they were going against the current.

Hua Xiong invited Zhang He, Cai Mao, Ling Tong and others into his central army tent.Said: "The past few days, we have been walking too slowly, and the day is less than a hundred miles. When will we reach Chengdu? I intend to separate the soldiers and horses. I will lead the cavalry first, and General Zhang will lead the infantry to follow closely behind. The two generals of the navy can only walk slowly, waiting for the army of the lord behind."

"No!" Zhang Yun hurriedly said, "I haven't heard anything about Guan Yu's actions during this journey. He was worried that our soldiers and horses are strong. If we divide our troops and go away, what should we do if we meet Guan Yu's main force? Wouldn't it be someone's fault? Targets, break them one by one!"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Hua Xiong was a little helpless.

Zhang He said: "Although our army seems to be moving slowly when huddled together, we are not afraid of Guan Yu's sneak attack. According to my estimation, the road from Yiling to Kuiguan is extremely steep. The most likely thing for Guan Yu is to split up and block the attack. We can just do it." Use this to break them one by one!"

"I agree with General Zhang!" Cai Mao nodded.

Hua Xiong sighed: "The road to Shu is difficult. It's true. In this place, the cavalry can't be used at all. Since you both agree, I don't have anything to say. As long as the lord doesn't urge us, we will keep going every step of the way!"

"If General Hua wants to go faster, I have a plan!" Ling Tong interrupted suddenly.Ling Tong was among this group of people. Although he was also a general, his age and seniority were not dominant. Ling Tong could only listen to what he said.

The three of them turned around at the same time.Cai Mao smiled: "Oh? Tell me?"

Ling Tong said: "Since General Zhang has already guessed that Guan Yu is most likely to divide his troops to defend each dangerous point, why don't we send a small team to surround the rear, so that the attack from both sides will be much faster than a frontal attack!"

"Yeah!" Hua Xiong cheered up: "This is also a good way! But the middle of Shu is no different than the Central Plains. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. The map in our hand can't tell which trails there are, and it's hard to cross the dangerous points!"

Everyone fell into deep thought again, this question is indeed a bit difficult to solve.If there is no guide or map among the mountains and mountains.Once in, how to get out is the biggest problem. If you break into Guan Yu's ambush, the gain will not be worth the loss.Ling Tong asked Hua Xiong for his order, and he was willing to try it himself.Both Zhang He and Cai Hao felt it was inappropriate.It is better to move forward steadily than to let people take risks.

Just when everyone refused to give in to each other, the guard suddenly came in: "General, someone outside the camp asked to see him, saying that there is a letter from General Yufu!"

"Xian Yufu? He's not in Sichuan for internal response, why did he send someone here?" Hua Xiong asked, and not long after, a thin young man was brought in.This person is dressed in gray cloth clothes, dressed like ordinary people.Wearing straw sandals on his feet, he must have come over the mountains, and there are scratch marks on his arms and cheeks.The appearance is also Zhou Zheng.Seeing the three people, he hastily bowed down: "Cao Min Zhang Yi pays respects to all the generals, who is General Hua Xionghua?"

Hua Xiong said: "I am, get up and talk!"

Zhang Yi hurriedly stood up, escaped a letter from his arms, and offered it with both hands: "This is a letter from General Xianyu, so I must hand it to General Hua Xiong with my own hands, please have a look at it!"

A soldier took the letter from Zhang Yi and put it on Hua Xiong's desk.Hua Xiong opened it for a few glances, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Hahaha...! I really want to do whatever I want, this Xian Yufu is really interesting, isn't it Zhang Yi! Please sit down!" Hua Xiong's excitement was beyond words. , Immediately ordered someone to prepare food and drink for Zhang Yi.

Xian Yufu was overjoyed when he received the news that Long Fei raised his troops.I led the shadow army to lurk in Yizhou for several months, and it went smoothly at first, disturbing Fuling, rescued Dezhou, and rescued Zhang Ren and Leng Bao by the way.Since Liu Bei occupied Chengdu, their life has been difficult.According to Zhuge Liang's orders, strict investigations were carried out in various places, and they were almost discovered by soldiers at the checkpoint several times.

The news that Long Fei raised troops to attack Yizhou reached here, and Zhang Ren felt a little doubt in his heart.Although he is not from Shu, he has stayed in Shu for decades. Liu Zhang felt uncomfortable when he was driven away. He hated Liu Bei and wished someone could kill Liu Bei to be happy.But he was still not happy that Long Fei was coming. If Long Fei came, Liu Zhang would never be able to be a Yizhou shepherd again.

Xian Yufu saw Zhang Ren's hesitation, and said with a smile: "It is said that only the virtuous live in the world, how can Dudu Zhang not know, whether it is Liu Zhang or Liu Bei, which one do you think is better than my lord?"

Zhang Ren shook his head and smiled wryly, and cupped his fists at Xian Yufu: "What the general taught is that Zhang Ren is stupid! Coming from Jingzhou, no matter land or water, it is not easy. If Guan Yu divides his troops to block every dangerous point, if General Long does not pay It may be difficult to break through Yizhou's defense line at such a cost, if I am the vanguard in the front, I must feign a frontal attack, and then surround the back, which can not only speed up but also reduce casualties!"

Xian Yufu nodded: "Dudu Zhang is really brilliant!"

"The only question now is, is there a guide in General Long's army?" Zhang Ren asked: "The road to Shu is difficult to walk, with small roads and dense mountains and forests. If there is no guide, it may be difficult to cross. "

Brothers Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi who were on the side just heard it.Zhang Yi said: "General, I would like to go and lead the way for General Long!"

Xian Yufu was overjoyed, brothers Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi were very familiar with the roads in Central Shu, especially the roads around Jiangzhou, if not for these two brothers, he would not have been able to stay in Yizhou for such a long time.After killing Tai Shici, the two brothers had completely surrendered, and they said this now to express their gratitude.Xian Yufu hastily tore off a piece of his clothes, picked up a brush and wrote a letter to Zhang Yi, asking him to hand it to Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong would do the rest.

Zhang Yi left the hiding place, crossed mountains and ridges, and walked east, while paying attention to the arrangement of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.Using the path he explored to avoid the interrogation of Guan Yu's soldiers, it took him half a month to arrive at the gate of Hua Xiong's camp.

With Zhang Yi as a treasure, Hua Xiong immediately revived, looked at Zhang Yi and Ling Tong: "Okay! I will leave this matter to you two young people. If you win, I will give you the first prize!"

From that day on, Hua Xiong set up a big camp in Yiling, sending soldiers and horses in turn every day to look out.Just as Zhang He guessed, Guan Yu really deployed defenses along the line from Yiling to Kuiguan.There are soldiers and horses in every dangerous place.It would be a little troublesome to attack everywhere.In order not to arouse Guan Yu's vigilance, Hua Xiong and Zhang Yun led their troops to shout at the dangerous point every few days, released two arrows and then retreated.

"Hahaha! Long Fei's soldiers and horses are not as brave as they are rumored to be. I made a small plan to make them helpless! As long as I am here, no one will be able to invade Yizhou!" Guan Yu held the bamboo slips in one hand and touched the Left out, less than a foot of beard.

Guan Ping felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.Although Guan Yu said so, he still couldn't let it go.For ten days, Long Fei's army outside Yiling still stopped.Not only did Guan Yu feel that his strategy was useful, but his generals and generals also expressed their admiration for Guan Yu.Said Guan Yu closed his eyes all day long, with a rare smile on his face.

Early in the morning, Guan Yu got up very early, just finished breakfast, and walked into the subordinate office, Guan Ping hurriedly helped Guan Yu make tea, and put the battle reports of the past few days on the table.Guan Yu was still full of confidence, and he didn't pay attention to Long Fei's soldiers and horses at all.

Just when Guan Yu picked up the tea and was about to take a sip.A person suddenly broke in from outside the door.This person was covered in blood, the blood mixed with dust from head to toe had already solidified, he rushed into the hall, lying on the ground and crying: "Second General, Baidi City is lost!"
